What do you recommend with these tires - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Have some good grippy tires 215/45/17s on my frs at the moment which are the same tire size as stock.

Looking to buy wheels, what wheel size do you recommend?

I was thinking 17*7+46 but that is really similar to the stock wheel.

What do you guys recommend? 17*8??? Or

If you intend to keep using 215 width ones .. better stay with stock size wheels aswell. The wider the wheel, the heavier.

More looks rather than weight. Trying to work out a more aggresive wheel size i could try. Like 17*8 or 9.
Unsure if they will fit however

You'd be ok with a 17x8. 17x9 is going to be a decent stretch on the tire.

Two favourites:
Rota Titan 17x8 et42
Fox FX005 wheel 17x7.5 et35

Look good (concave), not too wild fitment, light (7,7 and 7,4kg resp) and not too expensive.

Would it look much different going 17*8 or 17*7 ? Noticeable? If so, what offset do you recommend for 17*8

Do both these fitment 215/45/17 easily

Dude search the massive wheel and tire section. It has every combination of wheel and tire you can think of.

Or go to the manufacturer of the tire - they'll usually have a recommended wheel width listed with their tires.

17x8 would be ideal for you IMO. Can fit a 215 tire with a slight stretch (good for handling), and has the flexibility to take 225 and 235 tires in the future if you decide you want to go wider.

i would try to find a set of 17x8 +30

hmong337 · 11-19-2015, 02:13 PM

Honestly, I would skip straight to a 17x9 and wrap them with 245/40r17's or even a 255.

You should look through galleries and find wheels you like. 17x9 with 225 tires seems to be the performance sweet spot for NA cars. I'm sure an FI car would want more tire. Going for looks is a totally different thing. Also, camber and having coilovers will affect what fits.

Would you recommend getting an aftermarket wheels similar to the stock wheel size --- like 17*7+47

Heard its best for performance aspects
